What's not to love about Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass?" It's catchy and full of healthy attitude and the girl's got soul. I confess to also being a huge Weird Al fan as well and while I was filling my crock pot and belting out "All About That Bass," I found a different chorus coming out instead... So here's a shout-out to WriMos and crock pots everywhere:

Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no foodieBut I can fill it, plug itLike I'm Miss Betty'Cause I got my pork, beef, and stuffed peppers, tooAnd all this nice time to just write, I do

I see the magazines workin' new time saversWe know crock pots are bestC'mon now, novel-ersIf you can crock it, crock it, just raise 'em up'Cause every bit of time is preciousAnd us WriMos cannot stop

BRIDGE: Yeah, my mama she told me don't worry about tonightShe says, "Girl put that meat in the crock it'll cook it right."You know I won't make my guy cook for me all November longI'll just plug in this roast and get my novel moving on

CHORUS

Hey!I'm bringing slow cook backGo ahead and tell them fancy gourmets thatNo I'm not playing. I ain't got time for that.But I'm here to tell yaIf you wanna write a novel then you gotta have a crock.

Reflections on Writing

I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
